What it is like to intern here
Incheon Overview
Incheon is South Korea’s gateway city. It has the country’s main international airport and one of its busiest ports, and Seoul is about an hour away by subway.
Songdo, a planned district on reclaimed land, was designed as an international business center with modern offices, parks and a strong foreign presence. Older neighborhoods such as Chinatown and the harbor area give the city a more historic side.
Internship Opportunities in Incheon
Internship opportunities in Incheon cover logistics and aviation, trade, biotechnology and life sciences, technology, and international business. Songdo hosts research institutes and companies that work with overseas partners, and the port and airport create demand for supply chain and operations support.
Because many organizations here deal with international clients, English-language tasks are common in business development, research and communication. Most of our placements in South Korea are in Seoul. Incheon is possible depending on your field and the host companies available at the time.
Incheon Attractions
Outside work, interns can walk through Songdo Central Park, visit Incheon Chinatown and the old harbor streets, or take a short ferry to nearby islands such as Wolmido.
Seoul is easy to reach by subway or train, so evenings and weekends can switch between a calmer city and the capital’s nightlife, markets and museums.
Next to the main airport
Incheon International Airport is close by, so weekend flights across Asia are easy to fit around your internship.
Songdo and Chinatown
Walk the canals of Songdo Central Park, then eat jajangmyeon in Incheon's Chinatown, where the dish was born.
Seoul on the subway
The subway and the airport railroad connect Incheon to central Seoul in about an hour, for markets, palaces and nightlife.
